BATMAN Technique 8 Compas 9 Aire 8 TOTAL 25 DEADPOOL Technique 6 Compas 6 Aire 6 TOTAL 18 GAMBIT Technique 6 Compas 8 Aire 7 TOTAL 21 HUMAN TORCH Technique 6 Compas 5 Aire 6 TOTAL 17 NICK FURY Technique 6 Compas 8 Aire 7 TOTAL 21 SUPERMAN Technique 6 Compas 7 Aire 6 TOTAL 19 THE THING Technique 5 Compas 5 Aire 5 TOTAL 15 The compás problem raises its head again here, but I should like to draw attention to the lack of clarity and definition in the rasgeados, which applies to almost everyone. You need to work on independence and strength in the fingers because rasgeos, the same as falsetas must have their internal compás. Well done everyone: I would never have had the courage to do what you have done when I was starting. Suerte Sean

Very good for everyone, not sure if everyone is truly a beginner because most everyone was pretty close to right on compas. Problem for me was technique as Sean mentioned, rasgueado is the main technique here and is weak for all. And aire was hard too because for me at this slower tempo, pretty much doesn't really have the "aire" for me of bulerias. In some cases it was aire of solea almost! But of course I am a big advocate of slow even practice, just i was thinking to have a 0 or even 5 for aire for everyone since all are learning to get this thing. But I did my best anyway to be fair and follow the judging rules. Batman tec. 7 compas 8 aire 6 total 21 Nice work, good sound and golpes, just need to work on the rasgueado, more digging into it, and need to get rid of the few little spot of lost tempo to move to intermediate level. Deadpool 4 3 3 10 You are getting a decent sound, and even pretty steady tempo, but not feeling the meter yet. You went out of compas a couple times, but it is good you have pretty solid tempo which I think is more important. You will get it! Gambit 5 6 5 16 Humantorch 4 6 5 15 Nick Fury 6 6 4 16 Superman- 6 7 6 19 Very close taking this to the next level. Like Batman work on technique and tempo, try to feel each note and space where it belongs in time. The Thing- 3 4 3 9 Man when you first started, it was nice and fast and had the "aire" and I got excited! But then I realized quickly your tempo is really lacking. You got to work on tempo and things are gonna start to focus for you real quick. Ricardo
